President Barack Obama’s Democratic supporters sent Texas Sen. Ted Cruz a fruit basket Friday as a gag gift to thank him for the GOP’s drop in popularity, just as a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC survey was released showing support for the Republican party is down to 24 percent.

Americans United for Change and former Democratic Party communications director Brad Woodhouse sent the outspoken Texas Senator the gift and a card to thank him for making Democrats and the Affordable Care Act more popular.

“Dear Ted,” the card read, “A Texas sized thank you!! Thanks to you, Obamacare is more popular and the GOP is less so. Keep up the Good Work!! Yours, Americans United for Change.”

Cruz, seen as the face of a new wing of Tea Party-aligned members of Congress, has divided his own party in recent days as both sides of the aisle try to reconcile their differences to avert a debt default next week.

A number of top Senate Republicans are starting to vilify Cruz for his relentless efforts to defund Obamacare. Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain was the first top name to shun his tactics, but more recently, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., also bashed Cruz in a group criticism that the New York Times quoted one senator as calling a “lynch mob.”

New York Republican Peter King also accused the “Ted Cruz wing” of trying to hijack the Republican Party.

Woodhouse also said Cruz was the “embodiment of the Tea Party. They don’t care about the Republican Party.”
